Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Spike, played by James Marsters, is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' and ''Angel''. Spike is a vampire and played various roles on the shows, including villain, anti-hero and lover. For Marsters, the role as Spike began a career in science fiction television, becoming "the obvious go-to guy for US cult ()". For creator Whedon, Spike is the "most fully developed" of his characters. The character was intended to be a brief villain, with Whedon originally adamant to not have another major "romantic vampire" character like Angel. Marsters says "Spike was supposed to be dirty and evil, punk rock, and then dead." However, the character ended up staying for the second season, and then returning in the fourth to replace Cordelia as "the character who told Buffy she was stupid and about to die."〔(411mania Interviews: James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) ), March 10, 2012〕
Within the series' narrative, William was an unsuccessful aspiring poet in the Victorian era who was mocked and called "William the Bloody" because of his "bloody awful" poetry. Sired by the vampire Drusilla (Juliet Landau), William became an unusually passionate and romantic vampire, being very violent and ready to battle, but not as cruel as his companions. Alongside Drusilla, Darla (Julie Benz) and Angelus (David Boreanaz), William acquired the nickname Spike for his preferred method of torturing people with railroad spikes. He was noted for killing two vampire Slayers; one at the end of the 1800s during the Boxer Rebellion, the other in 1970s New York, where Spike acquired his trademark leather duster. During the second season of the series, Spike comes to Sunnydale hoping to kill a third Slayer, Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), with whom he later forges an uneasy alliance. Over the course of ''Buffy'', Spike falls in love with the Slayer, reacquires his soul to prove himself to Buffy and dies a hero in the show's series finale. He is subsequently resurrected in the fifth season of spin-off series ''Angel''.
Considered a 'breakout character', Spike proved immensely popular with fans of ''Buffy''.〔August 3, 2005; (Movie File: Jon Heder, Ryan Reynolds, Alyson Hannigan, Mike Judge & More ); ''MTV'' Movie News; text refers to Spike as a breakout character.〕 The character appears substantially in Expanded Universe materials such as comic books and tie-in novels. Following the cancellation of ''Angel'' in 2004, Whedon considered creating a ''Spike'' film spin-off. Canonically, the character appears in issues of the comic books ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight'' (2007–11), ''Angel: After the Fall'' (2007–09), ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine'', ''Angel & Faith'' (both 2011–2013) and several ''Spike'' limited series, spinning off from both ''Buffy'' and ''Angel''. Currently the character is in the canonical comic Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten (2014-present).
